Forecast: Hot & Sunny Tuesday; Evening Storms

Tampa Bay, Florida -- Tuesday will start off warm, mostly sunny, and muggy; with showers and storms expected to develop later in the afternoon across inland areas. Storms will likely occur through the evening for areas west of I-75, as sea breeze collisions and outflow boundaries occur.

High temperatures will stay in the low 90's with "feel like" temperatures ranging from 95 to 105 degrees.

This pattern will last through midweek until a winds shift occurs. That shift will bring more SW winds to the area, producing early morning storms along the coast then more scattered storms inland.
